Scott Wurcer,
In the thread where you have your discrete opamp design how would you take that basic premise and use it in a preamp? I have tried to stay up with that thread and was wondering how you would practically implement that design into a working circuit rather than the old obsolete and almost impossible to obtain devices that so many still are designing around?

Not quite sure what you mean. It is workable with just the BF862 type FET and I hope Linear Systems keeps up at least some availability of P-channel devices if you want those. The folks that insist on the rarest of the old Toshiba parts, I can't help. I am not into magical properties of a select few discrete families. I've used ordinary parts right from Digi-Key for the most part. Not sure if the J310 family is still made by somebody.

I plan to present something at Burning Amp.
 
Hi Scott---- I've looked from time to time and maybe missed it.... do you have FFT's for your design... where?

Thx-RM

Somewhere, in any case I will be building a clean prototype (the patches got a bit messy) and repeating everything. I remain pretty convinced a 20dB line stage can drive 600 Ohms at < 10ppm at 20V p-p and 20kHz with the single gain stage. The first prototype looked to be 3ppm or so but my setup at the time was not great.

Jason will be welcome to put any presentation into the permanent archive.
